Transporting units

To transport units, you will typically need to move them to an Air Field (for air-transporters), or a Sea Pier (for sea-transporters). Helicopters can land anywhere and do not need an Air Field.

To make land units enter the cargo of your transporters, first select them, then choose the "Load into" command from among the UNIT ORDERS and click on the transporter you want the unit to be loaded into.

For a unit to be able to load, it has to weigh less than the cargo capacity of the unit, any remaining cargo space will be filled with supplies.
